Ordained Minister Dennis Hall and his guest Sergio Barranco, Pastor of Hispanic Ministries at First Baptist Church, Highlands, North Carolina talk about the origin and true meaning of Thanksgiving Day, It seems more and more of the media refer to Thanksgiving Day as "turkey day. "Yet the Scripture refers to the concept
of thanks 102 times in the Old Testament and 72 times in the New Testament. They discuss the many things that are miracles of God that we take for granted, from modern-day medical care and dentistry to heat, air conditioning, and running water in our homes. Both these pastors share events in their lives that brought them closer to Jesus. They end this podcast by acknowledging that on Thanksgiving Day God is not opposed to our feasting and gathering together with friends and family to dine, but if our only prayer is to ask God to bless our food, we are probably forgetting the real meaning of this day. Prayers of thanksgiving for the things that God has given us should be the focus of Thanksgiving Day. Celebrate and don't leave God out of your Thanksgiving!
